Good afternoon, Oak Lane families! We are beyond grateful for your incredible support of our Krispy Kreme Doughnut Fundraiser! Thanks to you, we sold nearly 600 boxes of doughnuts and over 110 certificates and BOGO cards—an amazing accomplishment! profiting over $5,800 for our general fund! 🎉 A huge congratulations to Mrs. Jenkins and Mrs. Ford’s Kindergarten Class for being our top sellers and winning a delicious Doughnut Party! Their class alone sold over 100 doughnuts/certificates and had more than $1,600 in sales—way to go! 👏 🍩 Pick-Up Details: Our fantastic PTO board will be working hard to sort and organize orders after picking them up from Krispy Kreme tomorrow morning. Orders will be ready for pick-up at the front entrance between 1:30 PM and 6:00 PM tomorrow. Please confirm your doughnuts matches your order form before you leave. 📌 A Quick Heads-Up: Due to overwhelming demand, we depleted Krispy Kreme’s inventory of certificates and BOGO cards! If your friends and family ordered these, Krispy Kreme will do their best, but they may not be available for pick-up tomorrow. They have assured us they will be ready by next week. We appreciate your patience and will update you as soon as they arrive. 🚦 Best Times to Pick Up: To avoid the busiest times, we recommend picking up between 3:30 and 5:00 PM if possible, as regular dismissal and My Life Matters dismissal can make navigating the parking lot a challenge. Thank you again for your support, patience, and enthusiasm! We can’t wait to see you tomorrow, and we hope your friends and family enjoy their delicious doughnuts! Please pass along our sincere appreciation for their support of Oak Lane! 🍩💙

Person County Schools will assess the weather conditions in the morning before making a decision about any potential changes to the school schedule for tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12. We will share updates as soon as they become available. Stay safe!

Due to the issued Winter Weather Advisory, tomorrow, Tuesday, February 11th will be a Remote Learning Day for all PCS students and staff. Please stay safe and warm.
